Actually the picture is looking good.
Germany has since 2015 (when some 1.3 million refugees entered) enjoyed substantial economic growth, record low unemployment rates, as well as record federal budget surpluses.

Around one in two of the refugees who have arrived in Germany since 2013 have found steady employment within five years, a new study says.

Strange, 'the picture is looking good' with the migrants yet the EU was paying Turkey billions to stop them from coming and is now being threatened with their arrival

Well in your own words
Or not?

I don't really know what the out of context quote from another thread has to do with it

In any case, the EU seems to have rejected your hypothesis as they've now pledged millions to the Greeks to help keep the 'cash cows' out of Europe.

German growth is below the EU average, and well below the US.

With one in two being in work, that means one half of the refugees need to generate enough taxes to feed the other half before you even start seeing a net benefit. Seeing many are in low paid jobs (and not the doctors and engineers that Merkel promised) that is not very likely, not even in high tax Germany.

There is no link between the EU's humanitarian payments to Turkey and Germany's success in integrating refugees?

You are ignoring the fact that refugees, like the rest of the population, include women and children and I am sure that even the low paid can feed their families.

The German Medical Association states that the largest influx of foreign doctors in the past year are from Syria, with nearly 737 Syrian physicians entering the German workforce in 2017.

They also estimate that there are more than 3370 Syrian doctors working in Germany. However, this likely underestimates the true number as it omits those who have German citizenship or are completing their registration.

There is a weak link between your post about refugees/immigrants and the war in Syria. Even if the war would end today the Iranians/Afghanis/Pakistanis would still try to reach Europe.

Please stay on topic.

The cynicism of Erdogan in Syria is like something out of 1984: a few years ago he was best friends with Assad & Hizbullah. today he is fighting them.

Interesting fact.
The largest influx of doctors into Argentina in 1945 was from Germany.
I wonder what they had been doing during the war?

For more than a million refugees, that is still a third of a percent. So Merkel's statement about doctors and engineers remains an exaggeration.

Probably much less than a third of a percent even, if we consider that many of the doctors didn't come with the refugee stream but came with work visas and a nice reference letter from Assad.

If you believe refugees are off-topic then you need to complain to whoever merged the "The Europeans not extending any welcome to Syrians" thread with this one!

But if you want to give me the blame that is OK, I have broad shoulders and a big ego

So, just after Macron has just called for a thaw between EU and Russia, any new EU sanctions on Russia aren't there, despite Russia's war crimes there? BTW: Germany investments in Russia in 2019 were record high.
Turkey at least tolerated ISIS oil exports to support the war against Assad - where are the sanctions on Turkey? Ah well.

The German Interior Minister tweeted that Germany doesn't want them! So much for the successful integration

This tweet does not mention integration

Anyway, he is a strange character. Yesterday German Interior Minister Horst Seehofer declined a friendly handshake with Chancellor Angela Merkel on the grounds he was worried about coronavirus.

Still, Greece is the strongest opponent of EU sanctions on Russia.
Must be a hard choice - favouring Russia, the enemy of Greece enemy (Turkey) vs the refugees influx?

Dragging the thread back on topic:
Syria is very likely to suffer greatly from Corona: With many Iranians moving in and out Syria and the terrible state of the health system corona will spread rapidly.

Assad's response: deny and conceal.

He is a strange character in many respects. I gather a lot of people like him though.
